The authors would like to correct an error in the synthetic procedure for compound E3, as the temperature reported in the published article is incorrect. The correct temperature is 60 °C, and the relevant sentence should read:

The mixture was dissolved in 20 mL of absolute methanol and then stirred at 60 °C for 12 h under an argon atmosphere.

The authors would also like to correct Table 2, as the data reported in this table are incorrect in the published article. The correct Table 2 is shown below.
